By now, you — as a member of the media-consuming American public — must be aware of the fact that James Cameron’s “Avatar” is being released tomorrow. Perhaps you’ve seen cast members Sam Worthington, Sigourney Weaver and Zoe Saldana talking about their motion capture suits on late-night television. Or maybe you’ve seen Cameron himself making the news show rounds (including on this web site), explaining how he created the technology for his 3-D sci-fi visual opus. But what you really want to know is whether the film is worth plunking down your hard-earned cash. Judging by the general consensus of the nation’s critics, the answer is yes.
